Acetone

Acetone, (or systematically named 2- propanone), is an organic compound that is a colorless, mobile, flammable liquid and is the simplest ketone. Acetone is miscible with water and serves as an important solvent in it own right, typically for cleaning purposes. It is a common building block in organic chemistry. Acetone is a good solvent for most plastics and synthetic fibers. It is ideal for thinning fiberglass resin, cleaning fiberglass tools and dissolving two-part epoxies and superglue before hardening. It is used as a volatile component of some paints and varnishes. As a heavy-duty degreaser, it is useful in the preparation of metal prior to painting. In California Acetone is one of the few VOC exempt solvents available for industrial uses.
